Data Governance & Privacy
How personal and public data is collected, used, and protected — including surveillance, data sovereignty, and the rights of individuals and communities over their own information.
Trajectory
Tightening toward strict global standards
Main driver
AI-enforced global compliance systems
Leading actors
CTAA; AI compliance systems
State in 2040
Strict global standards; synthetic data used
Strict regulations ensure that data protection and data security are enforced globally, and clear global standards for the use and processing of training data emerge. Global data protection standards are automatically enforced through AI-supported compliance systems. Mechanisms are implemented that promote the availability of high-quality and secure data for AI development without violating privacy, for example through synthetic data.
